Hey everyone,

I know many Mooney pilots have diverse aviation interests, so I wanted to ask if anyone here also operates under Part 107 for commercial drone work. If so, how do you integrate drone operations with your general aviation experience?

Do you find that being a certificated pilot helps with understanding airspace, weather, and regulations under Part 107? Also, have you encountered any challenges in coordinating drone flights near airports or in controlled airspace, particularly when flying out of your home field in a Mooney?

Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Thanks in advance!

I do fly a drone too and I got certified under part 107. I am very careful when flying out of my field with my drone. But I am allowed to do it if I coordinate with tower.

 

It helps a lot being a pilot.

That's great! Being both a manned aircraft pilot and a certified Part 107 drone pilot definitely gives you an edge when it comes to airspace awareness and safety. Coordination with ATC is a solid habit, especially when operating near controlled airspace.
